Hello LiamK

Welcome to IrelandXO.  The www.historicgraves.ie is a voluntary project undertaken by local people to photograph/document local historic graveyards and is still ongoing.  

Regarding your own query, as the two surnames given O'Donovan and O'Neill are quite popular in the area.  Could you furnish Names along with dates - the more information you can give us, the more chance of you getting answers to fill in the gaps in your family tree. 

                regards

Phyl, Thanks a million for responding. I understand the voluntary nature of Ireland XO and really appreciate any assistance I can get.

My specific interest is to see if there are any headstone inscriptions for 

Edmund Donovan (1867-1937) and his wife Ellen nee Neill (1866 - ?)

Edmunds parents were Timothy Donovan (c. 1832-1916) and Catherine Ahearn (? - bef 1875)

The family lived in Ballymartin

Any help appreciated.

Liam

PS

If you need help transcribing headstone info from photos and I can help please dont hesitate to let me know

Hi Liam

Lovely to hear back from you.   Have been looking up the names you supplied above, and came across some brick walls - then looked up the1911 census - was Timothy married twice. Found some family twists.  If you give me your email address will send you what I found.

Our Ancestors just love to play hide and seek with us

Yes Timothy was married twice

1st Kate Ahearn before 1864, they had at least 4 children and Kate must have been dead before the 2nd marriage in 1876

2nd Catherine Murphy 1876 - no children from this marriage I think - she died in 1919
